Horsewhipped by a Woman.

wife OF Ned Holske, the ex-champion ten
mile pedestrian, entered the office of The
Police Nws today and administered a
thorough horsewhipping to Editor Cooke of
that paper The trouble grew out of letter
said to have been written by Capt. Cooke
to Holske while in Canada rejecting upon
the latter's honesty in the Carney McAulifRe

News recently rejecting upon her husband.
Eyewitness say that Mrs. Holske
upon Mr.. Cooke acknowledging himself,
as the author Of the article, drew
thick horsewhip and applied it vigorously
to his shoulders. Capt. Cooke shouted to
the enraged woman to desist, asking her at
the same time II she wanted to make a show

THE ARREST OF SIR wILFRID
Lord Churchill's Chances-The Story Of
President Crews Resignation-He
May Get Angry-Iis Probable Suc-

LONDON, Oct 24.--The most probable in
depreciation Of Lord Randolph Churchilrs
speeches giving uncompromising support to
ths government is that he is fulfilling his
part OF bargain under which hs is to re-
turn to the cabinet. The difficulty is to
see what place he will assume. He is dis
trusted by Lord Salisbury, while the feminine
influences against him have always been
strong. Everybody concludes, however, that
Churchill would not now have backed Sails
bury In such an unqualified way had he not
some immediate interest in view. For in
stance, he declares boldly that the plan OF
campaign was the cause Of the Coercion act,
whereas last year he blamed the government
fer taking notice of the plan, which he said
WAS small affair, confined to uuimportant
districts. Lord Randolph, however, is eco
nomic even i'll his inconsistencies, and always
speaks with some practical and purely selfish
end
Sir Wilfrid Blunt is a very brilliant man
of aristocratic association, and was formerly
member of Tory club. His friendship
with Lord Randolph Churchill had another
issue i'll the lltter's defense of Arab Pasha,
OF whom Blunt was an impassioned advo-
cate. He has now joineI the Radical Home
Rule party, and it is not unlikely he will be
candidate for the vacant seat at Deptford.
The story Of President Grevy's resigna-
ton is revived. The danger is that he may
get exasperated by the attacks OH his son-in-
law, who is mixed up with some dscredit-
able financial sets, and whose unpopularity
grows. 1t is just possible that in conse-
quence of these attacks Grevy may abandon
the post which he dearly loves to hold. This,
however, is unlikely, as he enjoys so much
the great success he has had as President.
If ne resigns, NJ. De Freycinet, who is anx-
lous to succeed him, will probably be his
most acceptable successor.

his London property for e200OOO. The pur-
chaser made Ga, 900 out of the bargain in a

The Standard says Sir Wilfrid Blunt has
unin' entionaily done good service for the
government by showing English fomenters
of disturbance in Ireland that they are to be
treated exactly the same as native agitators.

The Columbian Bank Depository Counse.
Say They Have Enough Evidence
to Cause His Arrest-A Reason


PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 25-The Times this
morning contains a statement to the effect
that Charles L. Phillips, president of the de-
funct Columbian bank. has fled the country,
having sailed for Havre on Saturday last.
1t is believed that he left the country to es.
cape criminal prosecution. The bank closed
its doors on July 30 and made an assignment
in favor of its creditors.
The liabilities were claimed by the officers
to have been between SOC, 900 and $500, 900
and the assets more than double that
amount On examination it was found that
the assets consisted principally Of WORTHLESS:
stocks and merchandise in warehouse, on
which advances had been made, in some
cases equal to the full value of the goods, and
notes made and unindorsed by Phillips and his
associates. The savings fund Of the bank
amounted to about $500, 900, and was princi-
pally made up of deposits by poor working
people.
The depositors demanded the arrest Of
Phillips on criminal charge, and the de-
positors were getting matters in shape and
hunting up evidence upon which to have
Phillips indicted The latter evidently heard
OF this movement, hence his flight. Some OF
his children aud his trunks were sent away
some time ago and his flight was no surprise.
Counsel for the depositors stated that he had
obtained evidence Of fraud against Phillips
Of sufficient importance to warrant his
arrest

1900 Since then two factions have arisen
in the ownership of the bank. The bank sx-
aminer for Michigan recently discovered
these shares as illegally figuring in the
assets, and reported the fact to the
comptroller of the currency, who or
dered their sale at public auction to the
highest bidder. The sale took place Satur-
day, and excitement at Constantine is at
white heat. Possession of seven of these
shares would give the control of the bank to
either faction, and at the sale struggle took
place for the supremacy. The stock was worth
$3.50 per share. This the Gins" bid, and the
"outs" went 81 better This rivalry continued
until the first share sold for 1888. In like
manner the sale proceeded, the remaining
shares selling for 5000, S3,OO1, 90, 141, o..

How n Man in Paris Can Dispatch III

How . Man in Paris Can Dispatch His
Mail Matter.
Theodore Child writes to The New York
San that Paris has the best letter dispatch sys-
tenn In the world, the letters being shot through
small tubes to all the central points Of the
city by the propulsion Of compressed air.
In 1865 the Arst pneumatic tube was laid,
and now their total length is lis miles, while
several more are in construction. To send a
quick message, you drop petit bleu, as they
are called-that is dainty little blue tinted
snvelope-into the nearest postoffice box, and
no matter what part Of the city it goes to,
You have your answer in an houri Or you
NAV send an open card. The charge seems
high TO an American; for the open card 1t 10
six cents, for a closed message ten cents, and
for card with prepaid reply twelve cents.
The letter sheet is like ourS-that is, sheet
gummed ON the flap and ready to be folded
when the writing is completed, and as the
size Of it is s by inches one may inscribe
quite q communication. Last year 3,l6s,O69
such messages were "piped through" and the
postal revenue thereon was over S247, 900.
Our engraving represents the principal ma
chinery. The pipes arc OF drawn iron lap
welded, with an interior diameter Of two and
nine-sixteenths inches. Wherever practicable
they run in the sewers, being bracketed to the
walls; but as the sewers connect at all sorts
Of angles and the pipes can only turn on
gentle curve they must often leave the
sewers. Elsewhere the tubes are laid in the
ground at depth Of three and half feet.
In these tubes ruin little trains Of message
boxes, made Of sheet iron with leather closely
fitted over IL. Each box will hold twenty
closed messages, box and contents weighing
twelve ounces The last box In the train
carries a washer" or circular flap Of leather
80 flexible that the pressure of the dir behind
causes it to swell out and fit tight to the interior
of the tube. When the train Of several mes
sage boxes Is properly inserted in the tube,
which Is theupward prolongation Of the main
tube underground, one piston closes the pipe
behind (the train having sunk to the under.
ground pipe by gravity another opens a con-
nection with the reservoir Of compressed air,

destination. This is the simplest explanation
that can be given; Of course the apparatus Is
